Soybean Oil
Soybean oil, also known as soyabean oil in some markets, is a widely traded vegetable oil produced from soybeans and supplied in different processing grades for food manufacturing, refining and other commercial applications.
Refined or RBD soybean oil is processed to provide a light colour, neutral taste and odour suitable for food production, bottling, frying and distribution. Crude and degummed soybean oil are primarily supplied to refiners and processors requiring further treatment before final use.
Terraviis coordinates bulk soybean oil supply through approved origin partners. The applicable grade, producer or processing facility, origin, technical specification and loading point are confirmed in the commercial offer.

Soybean Oil Frequently Asked Questions
What grades of soybean oil does Terraviis supply?
Terraviis handles commercial enquiries for refined or RBD soybean oil and, where available, crude or degummed soybean oil. Final grade and specification are confirmed for each commercial offer.
What is the difference between refined, crude and degummed soybean oil?
Crude soybean oil is the extracted oil before full refining. Degummed soybean oil has had a significant portion of phospholipids removed to prepare it for further processing. Refined or RBD soybean oil has undergone refining, bleaching and deodorisation and is suitable for food applications subject to the agreed specification.
Is refined soybean oil suitable for food manufacturing?
Yes. Refined or RBD soybean oil is widely used in food manufacturing, frying, bakery production, sauces, dressings, margarine and other commercial food applications, subject to the required food-grade specification.
Which origins are available?
Available origins may include Ukraine, Brazil, Argentina, selected Black Sea and South American origins, depending on product specification, availability, destination and transaction requirements.
Can soybean oil be supplied in flexitanks?
Yes. Flexitank supply may be available for bulk soybean oil depending on grade, producer, loading facility, shipment quantity and destination.
Can you supply crude degummed soybean oil?
Crude degummed soybean oil may be available through selected supply programmes. Buyers requiring degummed oil should specify the required analytical parameters and processing state in the RFQ.
Can independent inspection and COA be provided?
Applicable producer specifications or Certificates of Analysis can be reviewed for the quoted supply, and independent inspection can be coordinated where required.
What information is required for a soybean oil quotation?
